Poor Lyla

Two days after we left Pinedale, Lyla got a TERRIBLE cold, it lasted forever. Every night was just awful. She would wake up every 1-2 hours and couldnt breathe at all. Shes had colds but none like this one. Then after almost a week the cold turned into croupe, it was soo sad and scary because it was hard for her to breathe. We took her to the doctors and she also had an ear infection. They gave her antibiotics and was supposed to be on it for 10 days, on the 6th day i noticed she had some pink spots on her, I thought they were just bug bites because the night before we were outside for a while. The next morning it covered her whole body. We took her to the doctors and they gave her some steroids to take. We gave her benedryl and the steriod hoping it would go away. By night it still hadn't gone away and now her hands and feet were sooooo swollen. We went ahead and took her to the E.R. and waited forever! they gave her a shot of another steriod. Thats what made it go away! What also was annoying is every doctor visit and perscription we had to pay for because we werent in Az. (we're on access in az and everything is covered there) Poor Lyla went through alot those couple of weeks and whats sad is she cant take anything with penicillin in it because she is allergic. This was all because someone got her sick!

Lyla also broke in her first tooth on april 14th, her bottom right tooth.





She was still a happy girl at the e.r.








After the shot she fell asleep, it was midnight by this time. I love that her feet stick out of her carseat.

Omg! poor little girl! i hope she feels better soon. I hate when people share their germs. Especially when they know they are sick and still come around you. I hope whoever got her sick feels really bad.

Oh her poor little body. I cant believe how big and red those bumps are. At least you learned early what she is allergic too! Hope that she is doing better!

That is so sad, Poor Lyla, I would have been freaking out! Doesn't it just make you so mad that parents can't just keep their kids at home when they are sick!!
